Sculpture

Henry Moore’s Old Flo made headlines earlier this winter with council legal disputes, but this week another Moore sculpture is in the news under different circumstances {see AK Files November 9, and December 20, 2012}.

Art collectors of ArtKabinett social network are always concerned about preservation of Moore's important artistic legacy.

‘Knife Edge Two Piece’ stands opposite the House of Lords and will undergo significant restoration in the coming months.

Two years ago it was decided that upkeep on Moore’s sculpture near Parliament would be the responsibility of the Parliamentary Art Collection. ‘Knife Edge Two Piece’ may be recognizable to many as it often acts as a backdrop on parliamentary news coverage.

Christie’s announces another work for the November Impressionist & Modern Sale in New York. Art collectors of ArtKabinett social network are sure to get in line for these bidding paddles.

Modeled in the thin, elongated form for which the artist is best known, La Jambe is the artist’s final statement in a series devoted to depictions of isolated body parts – a vision inspired by Alberto Giacometti’s harrowing memories of wartime causalities and the lingering angst that permeated post-war Paris during the late 1940s.

Estimated at $10-15 million, La Jambe is offered from a distinguished private European collection, and is among the top examples of modern sculpture to be featured in Christie’s November 7 sale in New York.
